Essay Prompt I: How are white nationalist and related right-wing beliefs, tropes, and politics framed, rationalized, and interpreted in public and political discourse? With what impact? In your essay, incorporate the film "New American Nazis" and the four readings (Ross, Lindgren, Bjork-James, and Berry, Glaser & Schildkraut). 800 words minimum, MLA citation style (include page numbers).

Essay Prompt II: How is the white right shaping and affecting contemporary U.S. politics? Your discussion should incorporate at least 4 of the 6 readings (Sparks, Rosen, Bracewell, Kitchener, Isom et al, and Ebin), as well as the film "American Insurrection."

Book Review: Answer the following questions in a minimum of 800 words:

I. What does the text suggest about the gender politics of white nationalism?

II. Based on the authors' or editors' approach to the issues or any explicitly stated philosophy, what is the text's underlying political and social agenda? The answer to this question should not be: "the book's subject is...", but rather, an identification of what the authors' or editors' want. What changes in policy, practice, or social structures do they want to bring about? What are they trying to persuade their readers of?

III. How does the text relate to the course reserve readings, lectures or other materials? Be very explicit--- citing other readings, concepts from lectures, films, or speakers specifically. What does the text add to your understanding of the issues we are addressing in this course? Just mentioning other materials is not adequate. You should explain how they relate to the book or vice versa. You can use any of the articles that I include for the essays.
